2 bed character home. Central Old Town. Close to beach, Dreamlands, Turner

This Grade II-listed flint cottage is a piece of Margate history. Formerly part of the Cobb brewery, in years gone by it was a barrel store. Now, complete with original old beams scavenged from ships, it is a two bedroom holiday home. Set quietly back from King Street, in the heart of Margate's famous Old Town with its shops and cafes, The Old Barrel Store is two minute's walk from the Turner Contemporary gallery, the sea front, Dreamland & seconds from all the Old Town's various attractions.

Furnished largely from Margate's range of antique and vintage shops there's lots to look at and be inspired by. Egyptian cotton bedding, blankets to keep you warm and 200 year old flint walls to keep you cool! We also provide kitchen basics to get you started for your trip and a great guide to local activities and places to eat and drink.

About Helen Weidner

Helen and her family live in nearby Broadstairs, having moved from London in 2013.

Helen Weidner purchased this House in 2017

Why Helen Weidner chose Old Town

Margate Old Town is rather small, but perfectly formed. Properties which are as central as the Old Barrel Store are pretty rare. Add to the mix the dedicated parking space, pretty courtyard garden and set-back quiet location - it's a gem.

What makes this House unique

Margate Old Town is a really special, vibrant place. The Old Barrel Store has tonnes of history and is very centrally located on King Street, yet quietly set back. We offer parking and a lovely, good sized garden; both rare in the Old Town!

Notes

The Barrel Store is perfectly set up for families, with many child friendly facilities, or as a boutique couple's retreat furnished from local retro shops alike. Dreamland, the Turner Contemporary and the beautiful golden Margate main sands are all a short walk away.
We display work from several local artists. The Old Barrel Store, Margate is located very centrally in the buzzing Old Town of Margate, yet set back from the street in a quiet location.
